That would be a call-back to the Brosnan days, in a sense. Revitalizing The Bond Franchise, while simultaneously reviving the stalled career of a pretty boy with passable acting talent

That's only true if one takes a binary view of The Bond Franchise. As iconic as Connery's performance was, the writer who once described him as having the charisma of formica in his first couple of outings as Bond was right on the money. Yeah, he grew into the role, but by the last film he was already looking paunchy and weary. For all of the flack Roger Moore takes today, he was an ideal fit for the sensitive 70s, where Connery's interpretation would've seemed like an embodiment of everything that the counterculture derided as "plastic" about the lives and fantasies of upper middle class people
We could on at length like this, by discussing the ways in which each actor to play 007 was a perfect fit for the historical context in which his films were shot, but outmoded in any other time period.
